Luke 2
New International Version (1984) Help
2In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.G1161G1096G1722G1565G2250G1831G1378G3844G2541G828G3956G3625G583
2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)G3778G582G1096G4413G1096G2958G2230G4947
3And everyone went to his own town to register.G2532G3956G4198G583G1538G1519G2398G4172
4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.G1161G2501G2532G305G575G1056G1537G4172G3478G1519G2449G1519G4172G1138G3748G2564G965G1223G846G1511G1537G3624G2532G3965G1138
5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.G583G4862G3137G846G3423G1135G5607G1471
6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,G1161G1096G1722G846G1511G1563G2250G4130G846G5088
7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.G2532G5088G846G4416G5207G2532G4683G846G4683G2532G347G846G1722G5336G1360G2258G3756G5117G846G1722G2646
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.G2532G2258G1722G846G5561G4166G63G2532G5442G5438G1909G846G4167G3571
9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.G2532G2400G32G2962G2186G846G2532G1391G2962G4034G846G2532G3173G5399G5401
10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.G2532G32G2036G846G5399G3361G1063G2400G2097G5213G2097G3173G5479G3748G2071G3956G2992
11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.G3754G5213G5088G4594G1722G4172G1138G4990G3739G2076G5547G2962
12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."G2532G5124G4592G5213G2147G1025G4683G2749G1722G5336
13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,G2532G1810G1096G4862G32G4128G3770G4756G134G2316G2532G3004
14"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."G1391G2316G1722G5310G2532G1909G1093G1515G2107G1722G444
15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."G2532G1096G5613G32G565G575G846G1519G3772G2532G444G4166G2036G240G4314G240G1330G1211G1330G2193G965G2532G1492G5124G4487G1096G3739G3588G2962G1107G2254
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.G2532G2064G4692G2532G5037G429G3137G2532G2501G2532G1025G2749G1722G5336
17When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,G1161G1492G1232G4012G4487G3588G2980G846G4012G5127G3813
18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.G2532G3956G191G2296G4012G3588G2980G4314G846G5259G4166
19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.G1161G3137G4933G3956G4487G5023G4820G1722G846G2588
20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.G2532G4166G1994G1392G2532G134G2316G1909G3956G3739G191G2532G1492G2531G2980G4314G846
21On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived.G2532G3753G3638G2250G4130G4059G3813G2532G846G3686G2564G2424G3588G2564G5259G32G4253G846G4815G1722G2836
22When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the LordG2532G3753G2250G846G2512G2596G3551G3475G4130G321G846G1519G2414G3936G2962
23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord"),G2531G1125G1722G3551G2962G3754G3956G730G1272G3388G2564G40G2962
24and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: "a pair of doves or two young pigeons."G2532G1325G2378G2596G2046G1722G3551G2962G2201G5167G2228G1417G3502G4058
25Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.G2532G2400G2258G444G1722G2419G3739G3686G4826G2532G3778G444G1342G2532G2126G4327G3874G2474G2532G40G4151G2258G1909G846
26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ.G2532G2258G5537G846G5259G40G4151G1492G3361G1492G2288G4250G2228G1492G2962G5547
27Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,G2532G2064G1722G4151G1519G2411G2532G1118G1521G1722G3813G2424G4160G846G4012G846G2596G1480G3551
28Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:G2532G1209G846G846G1209G1519G846G43G2532G2127G2316G2532G2036
29"Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace.G1203G3568G630G4675G1401G630G1722G1515G2596G4675G4487
30For my eyes have seen your salvation,G3754G3450G3788G1492G4675G4992
31which you have prepared in the sight of all people,G3739G2090G2596G4383G3956G2992
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel."G5457G1519G602G1484G2532G1391G4675G2992G2474
33The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him.G2532G2501G2532G846G3384G2258G2296G1909G2980G4012G846
34Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,G2532G4826G2127G846G2532G2036G4314G3137G846G3384G2400G3778G2749G1519G4431G2532G386G4183G1722G2474G2532G1519G4592G483
35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too."G1161G4501G1330G4675G846G5590G2532G3704G1261G1537G4183G2588G302G601
36There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,G2532G2258G451G4398G2364G5323G1537G5443G768G3778G846G4183G1722G2250G4260G2198G3326G435G2033G2094G575G846G3932
37and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.G2532G3778G5503G5613G3589G5064G2094G3739G868G3756G575G2411G3000G3521G2532G1162G3571G2532G2250
38Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.G2532G3778G846G2186G846G5610G437G2962G2532G2980G4012G846G3956G4327G3085G1722G2419
39When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.G2532G5613G5055G537G2596G3551G2962G5290G1519G1056G1519G846G4172G3478
40And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.G1161G3813G837G2532G2901G4151G4137G4678G2532G5485G2316G2258G1909G846
41Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.G2532G846G1118G4198G1519G2419G2596G2094G1859G3957
42When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom.G2532G3753G1096G1427G2094G846G305G1519G2414G2596G1485G1859
43After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.G2532G5048G2250G1722G846G5290G3816G2424G5278G1722G2419G2532G2501G2532G846G3384G1097G3756
44Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.G1161G3543G846G1511G1722G4923G2064G2250G3598G2532G327G846G1722G4773G2532G1722G1110
45When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.G2532G2147G846G3361G5290G1519G2419G2212G846
46After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.G2532G1096G3326G5140G2250G2147G846G1722G2411G2516G1722G3319G1320G2532G191G846G2532G1905G846G1905
47Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.G1161G3956G191G846G1839G1909G846G4907G2532G612
48When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."G2532G1492G846G1605G2532G846G3384G2036G4314G846G5043G5101G4160G3779G4160G2254G2400G4675G3962G2504G2212G4571G3600
49"Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"G2532G2036G4314G846G5101G3754G2212G3165G1492G3756G3754G3165G1163G1511G1722G3450G3962
50But they did not understand what he was saying to them.G2532G846G4920G3756G4487G3739G2980G846
51Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.G2532G2597G3326G846G2532G2064G1519G3478G2532G2258G5293G846G2532G846G3384G1301G3956G5023G4487G1722G846G2588
52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.G2532G2424G4298G4678G2532G2244G2532G5485G3844G2316G2532G444
